I have to ask this question to all who were actually at the game I Skinscanes was, are our reciever's open downfield, or is it Ramsey's inability to find them? My observation from the tv is our routes are far to simple and easy to cover but that's tough to really gauge from the tv.
My thought's on what I can see, Portis ran hard the 1st quarter then he started running soft Bett's came in and started hitting the holes with authority, in the past I cut Portis some slack because I didn't see any holes to run through but not tonight, if he hit the line like he meant it our ground game could have won this one, we should have made the switch back to Bett's especially on that 3rd and 1 which Portis just about laid down on his own, Portis is a good back and he will rack up big number's when he's provided a red carpet to run on but he's not going to get any tough yard's the verdict is out he is a SYSTEM BACK as I stated when we traded for him.
Coaching I have to say Gibb's look's a little more like he catching up when you see him on the sidelines he doesn't have the deer in headlight's look anymore unfortunatly his coaching say's otherwise I am tired of seeing these 2,3, and 4 yard pass pattern's when we need 7,and 8 yards that's coaching you have to have Ramsey go downfield in those situations having a saftey valve for the sole purpose of just completing a 2 yard pass rather than take a shot downfield is ridiculous don't even leave Ramsey that option I don't see what is so difficult about putting your saftey valve past the 1st down marker the fact is Philli came into this game and was determained to take away those little hitches and ultra short passing play's which they did and we never adjusted, I need to know what on earth goes on between Gibb's and Ramsey as far as getting a play called on time, I also have a major problem throwing the ball in the 4th when we had a 3rd and 2, we were moving the ball we were pushing there line off the point of attack Bett's just ran for 8 yard's on 2 carries so we call for a pass play down field none the less, when philli is down to an entire second string D-line, I don't get it?????? we are throwing 2 yard hitches when we are 1st, and second, and long and getting nothing when we desperatly want him to go downfield, we have Gibb's babying Ramsey to no end and we are throwing the ball downfield on 3rd and 2???????
As for Ramsey tough to tell are there reciever's open or is he looking at blanket coverage downfield? Regardless that last throw into double coverage in the end zone was downright unbelievable and just about unforgivable I have no clue what he was looking at, I am at a crossroad's right now trying to figure out is it Gibb's offense, or is it Ramsey? I am thinking it may be Gibb's the reason I say that is this I am no fan of Brunell but I don't think anybody here thought he would be as bad as he was, defiently need some on field observation's.
As for the controller's, I mean official's how does that ref make that call in the first quarter on Spring's against TO he is standing right there with a perfect view. HORRIBLE!!! Then they try to give the eagles a 1st down on the westbrook draw deep in their own end he pushed that ball up a yard luckily it was still a few inches short no thank's to the ref's who spotted it, then we end up burning a timeout on Cooley's play late in the game with a spot that even if Cooley did step out of bound's [which he didn't] was still clearly a 1st down, then that bring's to me to the Spring's hit correct me if I am wrong but since when is the offenseive player's allowed to drill our corner's past the line of scrimmage during a pass play? Last time I checked that was offensive pass interference they take the guy off on a stretcher and no flag, am I the only one who saw this or am I missing something, but other than costing us a TD, and a timeout late in the game I thought they did a pretty good job all thing's considered. :doh: :banghead: :joke:
special's Thrash can catch a punt cleanly that's about it, 1 big run that's about it, I give them a C-. Oh yea I almost forgot I would cut Sellars immediatly!
Defense what more can we say they did just about everything you can do exept score enough point's to win the get a big A+ I gave them the plus for putting up with our offense.
The idiot award this week is a tie between Sellar's, and McCant's, I know McCant's only cost us 1 penalty, compared to 2 by Sellar's, but that take down 20 yard's from the ball carrier on a nice Portis run really pulled him even to Sellar's for it's shear stupidity!
